Tri Yaan Na Ros Colonial House Chiang Mai

... class (www.thaicookeryschool.com) where we learned to cook 6 standard Thai dishes. Really enjoyed it! I decided to swallow a few of the nearly whole chili peppers that were swimming around in my curry, and I do not recommend it. It was not the heat in my mouth that was the worst, the true pain came afterwards ...
We also went to the Saturday night market, which was really nice and lovely and full of locals and tourists alike and we had our first street food (after ...

... on booking a new flight. I wished I had got the bus an hour earlier, and watched nervously out of the window. Fortunately however, in the last twenty minutes we hit a steady speed of about 70mph on the expressway and at just after 5pm we arrived at the airport. I hopped over the luggage tower, grabbed my bag and headed inside. There was no queue for check-in, I was quickly processed and after heading through security and buying a big bar of dark chocolate with ...

... year lone from China. There was even a new edition in a few month old that we could only see on tv to keep it away from disease but the Dad was out entertaining the crowd chewing his way through a big pile of bamboo leaves. He liked sitting on his back with his legs dangling, so much so that he had a big wooden chair to sit on that looked almost staged when you see the photo but he kept doing it all over the place and looked really funny.
We got a songtaew (like a taxi/bus, pick up ...

... cooking schools in Chiang Mai. Yui doesn’t offer any sort of commission to the local mass-transit travel agencies, (“Those people already make too much money.”) and only shops at her local organic market. (“The big store is cheaper, but these people need the money more.”)

Our delights that day included: Pad Thai, Spring Rolls, Sweet and Sour Soup (Tom Yum), Green Curry Chicken, Sticky rice with coconut milk, and the ...

... hundreds of craft and food stalls are set up. It was all I could do to prevent myself from buying everything in sight! I managed to restrain myself and limit my purchases to a bag, two small material purses and a cotton scarf. The hundreds of food stalls sell the most intriguing looking stuff – most of which I can only guess at what it is. I have been tempted to try stuff but have been too wary about getting ill and unsure if it's veggie. Tonight I plunged ...

... a tearful call to my father to wish him a happy birthday, and a couple of emails to friends, asking if something was wrong with me for not loving this like everyone else does (they assured me there wasn't), I eventually just went to bed, telling myself that tomorrow was a new day. And it was. I awoke with very puffy eyes, but a new attitude. Had breakfast a few doors down from my guesthouse, which was so good- Western, not Thai, but they bake their own breads, and I had the best ...

... I am FINALLY caught up! We found Aroon Rai restuarant and it was very good. We had spring rolls, seafood soup, curry chicken, curry pork (very tender) and cookies and cream ice cream (homemade). While we were eating I was watching the traffic zipping by and happened to see a guy drop his scooter. I am not sure what happened, it did not look like anyone hit him, he just went over and slid a bit. Remarkablely he was not hit (there was ...

... pounding the recommended bpm for a hangover, mosquito bites and love bites in checkered pattern across my body, clothes strewn over the floor with about half an hour to get to the airport. being as polite as i could in such a crisis, i excused myself and started reloading my backpack, throwing shirts and jeans, filthies and cleans into the black bag, jamming the zipper shut on its contents. splashing my face in the bathroom sink, i looked up to see a smiling face, waiting ...

... us and we drove to her home and village. It had a little Catholic church. She ran ahead very excited to show us her home. Her Mum was there. She is 29 and her name is Nippo. Their home was wooden with bamboo walls. We left our shoes at the door and walked in this small room empty except for a fridge. There was another door at the end which was a bathroom. To the left were ...
